What Guests Are Saying
Clark's Ferry is a well-maintained campground with clean facilities and beautiful views of the Mississippi River, making it a pleasant destination for camping and boating. The hosts are friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere, while the campground offers ample shade and spacious sites. However, the proximity to railroad tracks results in frequent train noise, which may be disruptive for some visitors.

Would like to see some kind of barrier to help cut down the noise from the trains going by when camping along the tree line that is near the train tracks.

This is a wonderfully maintained campground. We stayed in site 9. We could sit under our awning and watch the tugs and barges go down the Mississippi. The camp host was wonderful. She greeted us as we pulled in and came to see us the next day to see how we were doing and inquire if we needed anything. There are lots of things to see in this area. We will DEFINATELY be returning.

Nice place to relax and watch the barges on the river. Lot of trains too so it can be a little noisy. Campsites are nice with adequate space between sites.

The campground was very nice and had great views of the Mississippi River. Electric only with water available in the campground and a nice place to dump. The reason I didn’t rate it higher is due to something beyond the control of the campground- the busy rail line right next to it. You must cross the tracks as you enter the campground which means the trains blow their horns as they approach that crossing. It will wake you up several times during the night.
